TeaMilk 05/15/24 12:08:22 PM #1:	Brief background if u haven't seen my other topics on this: Shitty neighbor has been repeatedly parking in front of my garage for a couple years now. I use a wheelchair and this blocks my only way of leaving/entering my home. Neighbor is fully aware of my situation and continues to park there, HOA and law enforcement have not helped me. So a month ago or so I just left a bigass traffic cone in my driveway, it actually stopped the guy parking there and I thought I could finally stop worrying about all this https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/87b6bb72.jpg Well a couple weeks ago I got a violation warning from my HOA about "improperly stored belongings" in regards to the cone. It pissed me off since they've done nothing to help the parking situation, but I didn't reply to it because they weren't threatening a fine or anything Yesterday at some point, someone removed the cone with no warning. I would assume it was the HOA, but their violation letter didn't communicate this would happen. I suppose it could have been the shitty neighbor too, since I definitely wouldn't put it past him. Either way, filing a missing property report with the HOA wouldn't do any good since they wouldn't help me with stolen packages in the past, and this cone wasn't supposed to be there in the first place i guess. I'm just so tired of all this lol. I don't really know what I can do other than join the next HOA board meeting and try bitching at them --- (they/them) \| http://large.horse/ Show user avatars on posts: https://openuserjs.org/scripts/melon/GameFAQs_Show_Icon <cite>TeaMilk posted [p:980404894] in They took ...

Is threatening to have the car towed a possibility? Yup, I left notes on his windshield explaining the whole situation politely. It took a while to actually find out who the neighbor was, but we have spoken to him face to face multiple times now. I have stared him in the face while sitting in my wheelchair as he backed his car out. He's just like "oh sorry it won't happen again" (it happens again) Yeah I do really just need to tow him next time I catch it. I have called before, and they always take so long to get out here, the neighbor comes and moves it by the time they call back. Other times its just really late and I dont want to deal with it OR it's a different car and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt (he gets new cars really frequently its weird).

wackyteen 05/15/24 12:49:50 PM #30:	Would where they park constitute a parking violation if you did it?

So long as you have the legal right to that spot there's nothing anyone can do. And you can pay a lawyer to draft up a C&D for relatively cheap.

Ive thought about posting on r/HOA or r/legal for advice but I dont rly use reddit Your neighbor is preventing you from the ingress and egress of your domicile. You have attempted on multiple occasions from having your neighbor do what they are legally supposed to do. Your HOA, who you pay fees to, are also unable or unwilling to help you. Lawyer up, send a C&D to the neighbor, and perhaps force the HOA to do what they are supposed to.

Do you mean on the side of the HOA or neighbor? When the neighbor started doing it, I don't think he knew who I was or anything.

It's fucking ludicrous that the HOA/local authorities have allowed this to go on for so long. Oh I agree but tbf I haven't been pursuing it aggressively with authorities like I should probably. I filed a few tickets with the HOA a while back and just gave up because they wouldn't do anything. We had a cop come out once a while ago and they said they couldn't do anything. At the time I couldn't even find a tow company willing to come out Frankly I'm barely able to function a lot of days cuz mental health shit so I dont know that I'm capable of pursuing this consistently with law enforcement/etc. I mean this shouldn't be happening, but its kinda on me in a way for letting it slide for so long Hambo posted... "improperly stored belongings" Fuck off with that. Your HOA and neighbors are absolute sociopaths.
